You guys have completely lost the plot with your ODN to ODIN verification.

Requesting people provide Photo and Address ID for a Coinswap is insane. KYC is to do with money being from legitimate sources, requesting this information for a swap is beyond the pale.

The provider you are planning to use, Shuftipro, has also made no declaration with regards to GDPR compliance. If any of this information is leaked, for any purpose, you become untouchable by any legitimate exchange, due to the potential repercussions.

The process you have done this claim on is also extremely shady, and not upfront - putting this Government ID and Address Verification after people have registered, locked in their ODN, and linked in emails and phone numbers.

I have spent a long time protecting my privacy to prevent myself being a target - as have others, and I would have done things extremely differently if you had acted in an upfront, straightforward manner. Now I have no choice but to sell whatever I have left at cut rate prices, along with the locked ODIN claim account, to someone willing to do the KYC and risk getting their information revealed for a gain significantly below verifying yourself on a big exchange.

I appreciate your lengthy reply as it shows an honest interest or conversation topic on your end. I'd like to help provide more context here regarding the requirement to provide additional PII in order to continue with the "airdrop". I say airdrop in quotes because this release is more akin to an airdrop where legitimate holders of Obsidian can receive ODIN but onto a different wallet / blockchain. There are still plans for Obsidian and community members that have been i contact to step up and run some interesting projects.

Now onto this Identity Verification we decided to require...

We had plans in the beginning to run a KYC/AML check for people looking to receive a large amount of ODIN (the amount would be variable based on how many people that would be). This was because Obsidian was unfortunately ridden with bad actors early on and we wanted to ensure ODIN had as clean of a start as possible. This would allow us to filter out people who should not necessarily have a large stake in ODIN's future because we want ODIN to be owned by the majority than the few.

As this release got closer and we began to assess how many requests there actually were, the spread of amounts, and the tightening rules and regulations most cryptocurrency exchanges require to list coins we decided to do a blanket KYC/AML check to ensure we could use this as additional leverage when approaching future exchanges. This last minute requirement was indeed last minute because we wanted to ensure any bad actors had little time to plan or react to these changes.

About Data Retention and User Privacy

As far as your declaration about Shuftipro not having any declaration of their GDPR compliance, I would like to provide you this link I found after a quick search for the keywords "shuftipro" and "gdpr": https://shuftipro.com/compliance-and-regulations/gdpr/

I would also like to happily state that users have already successfully reached out to them, and we have provided information on our end to help ensure their data is wiped from their servers. According to Shuftipro, all submissions are stored for a max of two years unless you reach out to their support manually. On our end, we are purging ALL ODIN Portal information by November 14, 2018 and will provide proof of this happening.

Finally I would like to clarify that ODIN carries forward the goal of being a Data Security and User Privacy advocate and we will do everything we can to push our claim and prove our claim. We want to build and support applications / services that build on-top of our ethos and utilize either all or part of the blockchain for this. I admire your desire for complete anonymization and preventing yourself as a target and we will work towards destroying all records we control as well as any link that a Shuftipro submission has towards an ODIN request. Even if you do not tell Shuftipro to remove your data within the next two years, your data on Shuftipro has no way of linking back to any request. The two are completely separate and this is why (along with other reasons) we wanted to use a third-party provider for this service.

I hope this helps clear up any confusion or concerns you, or others might have about ODIN and this whole process!
